Unemployment?

Unemployment benefits for travelers?

It may come as a surprise that travelers are eligible for unemployment at the end of every completed contract and in certain other circumstances. This is true in every state, and all wages earned in multiple states go towards your eligibility and weekly compensation. While you may consider it either unethical or demeaning to apply for and draw unemployment, it is an insurance pool that you have been paying into all your life with every hour worked, and it certainly should be considered in a time of financial need.

It is not difficult to picture a healthcare traveler in many of the scenarios listed below. It can happen to anyone. While it is not necessary to read this article closely just now (unless you are in such a situation), just skim it and recognize that unemployment compensation is a legitimate option that may prove of use to you in the future.
